the romney campaign didn't get it. the governor, as much as i add hire him for what he's done in public life, he showed his true color in the 47% speech, and he showed them again. these aren't gifts. when you give young people the right to go to college and pay less on their student loan, that's not a gift. that's an opportunity. that's the right thing, eliminating the middle man. when you give women access to contraceptives, that's not a gift. that's the right thing. that's good public policy. i mean, it boggles the mind he considers those things gifts, any more than if the federal gives relief to new jersey and new york from hurricane sandy. is that a gift or is that a helping hand? >> people compare this to the 47% comment he made again behind closed doors with wealthy people. you'll recall he went on to fox news and at that time -- let me play how he tried to get out of the 47% problem he was facing then. >> now and then you say something that doesn't come out right. in this case this is something completely wrong.

people like mitt romney get a bonus tax break. i don't think that's sustainable to tell the american people that they are holding out for bonus tax breaks for folks at the top at the expense of everybody else. that's not a sustainable position. i hope they come to that conclusion before january. after january, i think it would be impossible for them to maintain that position and can hold up tax relief to 98% of the american people. tax relief for 100% of the american people on their first $250,000 of income. >> congressman, good to have you on the program. thank you. >>> let me bring our guests back in. totally different topic, but it's been an emotional time. now that the election has wrapped up, you could really see how emotional in the video that the obama campaign released last night. the president talking to young volunteers in chicago the day after he won. here's a clip of it. >> even before last night's results, i felt that the work i had done in running for office had come full circle. because what you guys have done means
